Chapter 44

Once more Alex stretched his hands, his body felt… weird like he was in a tight suit of some sort.

'Don't worry, this is just you getting used to a new heart, it's like changing a car's engine from 2 litres to 5 litres one, your body is just getting used to such change.'

'How on Earth do you know car engines?' The black-haired teen asked the White Dragon with an amused curiosity.

'I checked your memories obviously, it seems you had a thing for cars before you started diving into history.' The dragon said with a hum, it sounded that the Vanishing dragon was reading Alex memories like some sort of book inside the teens head.

*Sigh*

'I see. Nonetheless, since I have a dragon heart my magic got affected too? As far as I know, the heart is what generates magic?' Alex said thoughtfully.

'Indeed. I suggest testing your hand blades before using them.'

The teen nodded, thankfully he was good to do that, as he doesn't have his jacket on.

The host of the White Dragon Emperor looked at his hand and started the routine of using magic to construct the shell for the blade.

Unlike his regular method of casting everything at the same time. This time Alex used stages.

This was where he noticed a slower build of his construct.

In the beginning, it was slower then it was much faster than his usual speed…

Then he noticed that lightning itself was more...fierce? Brutal? Only someone who wields lightning, like its second nature, can notice such things, in some way, one could say that this element had an… attitude of its own…

'Well? Do tell me if there is some difference? by my estimation, it should be minimal to non-existent, at this moment.'

"There is… the construct is slightly slower at the beginning of channelling magic but then it becomes faster than my previous time," Alex explained to the dragon what he felt.

'Interesting… so magic flow is related to heartbeat… nonetheless your sensitivity towards magic is phenomenal if you can feel such minuscular change.'

"Maybe, because my element is Lightning? To control, to create synergy between those two Lightning types I needed to achieve an extremely high level of sensitivity towards magic." Alex said his theory to the Dragon.

"Still, Albion you didn't I knew that heartbeat is connected with flow of magic?" The teen asked with a somewhat baffled tone.

"I am a being born from pure power, why would I know such a minuscular thing?" A pair of white wings manifested on the teen's back and started to speak properly instead of directly to his mind.

"That reminds me, it seems you can't enter the dungeon when you are knocked out. We should remember this small detail."

"Yeah… anyway, let's see changes to my stats," Alex said to the dragon as he picked up an empty sheet of paper and poked his finger with a small magically constructed needle.

This was another way to train and get used to his changes to magic.

Once a small drop of blood landed on the paper sheet letters started to manifest.

"Hmm, let's see." The black-haired teen picked up the piece of paper and checked what is written there.

"My mastery over Divide increased by two stages from nothing but heart replacement?" Alex said with disbelief.

"It's dragon type Sacred Gear, what do you expect? It should be even easier to master it, the only roadblock you should expect are the mental ones which comes with Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive." Albion said in matter of fact voice.

The teen slowly nodded, he never expect such… straight road with this. Nonetheless, at this moment he is more interested in his new 'skill'.

So, he pulled out another sheet of paper and dropped another small drop of blood.

Instead of seeing his stats, he saw an explanation for a skill, one could never earn in the Danmaichi Universe.

Thus Alex was very much interested in specifics and how his Falna picked up 'Dragon Heart'.

[DRAGON HEART]

[A skill manifested when a human gave up his heart to a Dragon who in turn gave a Dragon Heart as replacement.]

[This heart is from Dragon subspecies called 'Gwiber' in old Welsh tongue it means 'Flying Snake'.]

[Passive effects include mutation of human blood towards dragon attribute, increased magic capacity, possible development of poison.]

[Blood mutation: 0,4%]

"Well, this is interesting, where does this Falna get historical information from?" Albion curiously asked.

"Probably from the very same individual who gave me the APP…"

Alex words make the Heavenly Dragon shut up, ending the conversation at the very same moment.

The teen after that stored the two papers next to his other stats sheets, keeping the records of his progress since it's quite interesting to track his progress like that.

Once he stored the papers he once more stretched his arms and legs, feeling how his muscles stretch for a moment, he sighed in some annoyance.

Hopefully, this thing will get over soon enough…

After doing his stretches Alex left his room and walked towards the kitchen, where his lovely girlfriend was cooking up some breakfast for both of them, she was humming happily while cooking some scrambled eggs.

The black-haired teen didn't interrupt her instead he got comfortable sitting in his chair.

His gaze went to the purple-haired princess, his eyes started wandering towards her long hair, then shapely hips and beautiful legs.

The teen was quite mesmerised by how beautiful she looked in the academy uniform.

That moment his eyes widened as he realise why was he looking at her like that even after spending most of the morning doing naughty stuff!

'So, it seems you already are affected by dragon nature, the aura and your new heart started to take effect.

You already know that, but I will say it again, dragons are beings of emotions, be ready to experience larger swings in emotions both positive and negative. Be careful, especially around the devils.

Sitri already knows that you are prideful, make sure she doesn't pick up on your newfound interest in womanly assets….'

*Sigh*

'I already had the interest in that, only that I focused on things at hand…' Alex explained himself not that he needed to, but he did it anyway.

'Then continue focusing on your mate then, Wake me up when something interesting is happening…'

After saying that Alex felt Albion's presence fade away, it appears the Heavenly Dragon decided to nap.

Instead of thinking about his sexy girlfriend, the black haired teen decided to watch some television…

He needs to find a way to get this under control…

'Maybe a meditation technique? I think this will help unlock Touki as well…'

For a moment Alex thought about Touki, all he knows is that DxD barely explained anything on Touki, since it's not power used by the pervert.

Even pervert's powers are barely explained…

*Sigh*

"Hmm? You look depressed, I thought you will be happier after all that!"

Julis voice snapped Alex out of his thoughts, the teen quickly looked at his beautiful girlfriend, for a second he panicked.

"N-No I am not depressed! only somewhat annoyed how little the information from the books help towards different power sources."

"You still thinking about that? You can focus on that when classes start…" The Pink-haired Princess said that with a casual shrug.

"Julis...You want me to ignore what the teachers tell us?" Alex deadpanned at her while saying that.

"I would say focus on classes, but your Electrokinesis makes you absorb information at a much faster pace. So, I am not worried that you miss something."

The pink-haired girlfriend of his put a plate of food on the table before getting herself comfortable in the chair.

"True, I suppose, I did notice the difference in how quickly I read and pick up new information."

"Good, then don't get that thoughtful first thing in the morning." Julis sharply said to him.

~~~~~~At Academy~~~~~~

The Student Council President frowned when she saw Alex.

The black-haired devil heiress was thinking of finally approaching the subject what it means to win against her in chess.

But, she lost whatever determination she had when she saw the teen.

Sitri attention more specifically went to his obvious change in his magic signature.

Something has happened, which affected him to such a fundamental level.

And of course, she noticed that neither of their power have increased dramatically, maybe it's related to the encounter with the fallen he had yesterday?

Rias has told her that Alex has completely demolished the Fallen, it was not even a fight but an execution.

This of course has intrigued Sona even more, since if he can fight to such a level, then such an individual would increase the overall performance of her peerage further than even she has expected.

Most importantly he would teach her peerage members the hard lesson of taking someone's life.

Only her Queen has experienced that while the rest of her peerage still have to go through that.

Sona already noticed how they all… still did not realise how fundamentally their lives have changed, they all have given up on humanity and now are devils.

Such a thing has not hit them 'home' yet.

While the devil society has moved away from its old ways, many still do many devil-like things, especially in Human World.

While devils don't truly have their territory in the human world many of them still wander through the streets of human cities.

After all, not all major cities have a pantheon that protects their people.

Most of Europe is under Heaven dominion, but their hold is pathetic. So pathetic, that Devils regularly walk through the streets and collect members of their peerage or simply satisfy their sins, others… well other devils go to cities like Las Vegas or Los Angeles…

As Sona was thinking about her peerage and her race in general she eventually noticed how awkwardly Julis was walking…

A sting of jealousy washed Sona over, a small sigh escaped from the student council president lips, maybe she will have a chance to tell him tomorrow?

She needs to find a way for him to be alone, but his girlfriend is always around him…

'Back to planning board…'

~~~

'This is more difficult than I thought! why do all these girls have to be dressed in such sexy uniforms!' Alex ranted internally as he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep through the break between classes.

The moment he arrived at school he almost immediately noticed Sona, like he usually does, but this time he started to notice her legs, while with her Queen he noticed her assets.

Then of course in class, he noticed other females, this could mean he needs to get his hands on some sort of mental art to keep his mood swings in check.

Getting dragon attributes and being a hormonal teen has its downsides.

So, he either gets all cuddly with his Princess, which is not quite an option as he wants her to rest at the moment OR he beats some people up and get it out of his system...

'I guess this means I am going to that church this evening, I need to beat up some people!' After making up his mind he felt some sort of relief.

And so with a goal in mind, the rest of the day went through like a flash, it was even better when Sona simply allowed him to leave early as the girl had that awkward air around her.

Which only make Alex more certain that their chess matched finally caught up with her.

"Love, I am have something to do, I will see you at home." The teen said that to Julis who, looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Sure thing. Just make sure you come back in one piece, we need to return to the dungeon, the way you are right now is not helping." She said with an eye roll.

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Your eyes are constantly wondering, it even looks like you are either high on something, or you have eaten up something weird." She explained with an annoyed look.

"That bad huh…" Alex thought for a second, and here he thought he was discreet.

"Yes, the dungeon should give you enough time to adjust to the change." Julis reasoned, otherwise she will need to do some drastic things to keep those devils of her boyfriend back.
